Rogers told a Michigan radio interviewer earlier this week that he had not previously witnessed such a high-level confrontation, and he described Israeli leaders as being at "wits' end" over what they see as President Obama's unwillingness to provide them with his "red lines" in the effort to stop Iran's nuclear program. He also said that neither the Israelis nor the Iranians believe that Obama would use force to stop the nuclear program. (UPDATE: Rogers said as well he believes the Israelis will "probably" bomb Iran if they don't get clearer red lines from the U.S.)
Rogers description of the meeting directly contradicts repeated Administration assertions that there is "no daylight" on the Iran issue with the Israeli government. Shortly after the meeting took place, Israeli press reports appeared suggesting that Netanyahu and Shapiro had engaged in an argument, but Shapiro soon dismissed those reports, calling them "silly" and saying, "The published account of that meeting did not reflect what actually occurred in the meeting. The conversations were entirely friendly and professional."
Rogers, speaking to WJR radio host Frank Beckmann, painted a very different picture. He said the meeting, originally scheduled to be a discussion of intelligence and technical issues between himself and the prime minister, spun out of control when Netanyahu began lambasting Shapiro over the Administration's Iran policy. When Beckmann asked Rogers to describe the tenor of the meeting, he said: "Very tense. Some very sharp... exchanges and it was very, very clear the Israelis had lost their patience with the (Obama) Administration." He went on, "There was no doubt. You could not walk out of that meeting and think that they had not lost their patience with this Administration."

Those American Jews hate Bibi even more than they do Republicans.
” And by Obama not painting for them any of his “red lines” and if they do strike anyway, Obama will use it as an excuse to diminish U.S.Israeli LONG TERM security agreements - they’ll take the “Muslim” heat on their own and Obama will then leave them on their own. This is not accidental on the part of some “amateur”. “
Iran is also aware of this, and will act accordingly.
Puts a special twist on the “surprise” removal of mention of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in the DNC platform.
I wouldn’t be surprised.
“An American mission without a man” would be my adjustment....
(I won’t charge you a T-shirt for that free advice)
I would strike now, right after the world learned that Obama struck God & Israel from the platform.
What are the intelligent guesses as to Israel’s “Iran, Drop Dead” date? I read somewhere it had to be after the “summer”.
Oh after watching the dims last night, I think he would aid Iran openly if he gets a second term. He and his ilk hate Israel.
Zero is a nightmare for Israel, as he is for the American people.
Bingo.
I was listening to The Five on Fox a few minutes ago- Dan Perino made the point that this WILL all come out- what the language was, when it was put in etc. This can’t be kept under wraps for too long.
If it’s based on times of no moon the possible dates are 9/15, 9/16, 10/14, 10/15, 11/13, & 11/14.to fit the Israelis’ estimate of Iran’s progress. If they can hold off in order to not hand the election to Obama, then the Nov. dates are the latest.
There is such a thing as an anti-Semitic Jew. The Nazis used them very effectively.
” I think he would aid Iran openly if he gets a second term....”
A second term, and Israel might look good to ME : )
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Your shirts are almost done. Had to pick the cotton. Weave it. Freaking hard job! I got blisters!
My ex father in law is a retired math prof, the Jewish son of a Chicago Communist, murdered by hatchet to the head for his politics. The dad was at least an acquaitance of Saul Alinski in the 30’s. Indeed, many such Jews are/were agnostic, but at least some of the families have some wistful attachment to Israel via the kibbutzim. Thus, the Communist loyalty is the primary characteristic, making for a consistent problem now as it was in WWII.

Great article!
Obama and the socialists are in bed with the islamists, just as they were in the 1940s.
Throwing Obama out now will help, but it will only postpone the inevitable confrontation.
For evidence of this see the DNC train wreck.
